This pestle and mortar is a lovely piece of kitchen equipment. I have been using the end of a rolling pin and a mixing bowl until I received this item. It was so beautifully presented in a smart blue box in a polystyrene nest. The outside is shiny and smooth the inside is slightly rough […]

This is the first time I have owned a pepper and salt grinder and I think they make a great addition to my kitchen. They look so classy and work really well. I washed them first and they do take a while to dry – I left the grinding part in the sun and then […]

I recently tried this Spiraliser from Amazon. I was stunned when I opened this product to find all the extras – recipe book,storage bag, cleaning brush and a slicer! I wanted to try this out at once and I only had two carrots in the fridge. I followed the instructions (you just push the veg into the […]

I am a member of the Orchard at Tesco and often receive vouchers to try products for free or for less. Last week I had a sheet of vouchers for the Healthy Living range and fresh vegetables. I was very surprised how much more fat and sugar my usual salad cream and French dressing had […]

Birds Eye usually come up with tasty food and these fillets are no exception. White flaky fish, very light crumb, no bones about it these are great. Brilliant value too with 4 fillets in the box. If you have a smallish appetite or are feeding littlies these are sized for you. Man size appetites can always […]

The lovely Pilgrim’s Choice people kindly sent me a pack of their crumbly tangy Farmhouse Cheese and some super recipes for Christmas (some are ideal for using up all those leftovers we all have after Christmas). I decided that as a lot of us are trying to economise over the next couple of months to […]

I like beetroot but it is a tad messy to prepare so I thought I would try this Tesco salad. It was tasty but both my O/H and myself found it too sweet. Beetroots are already sweet so I don’t think it needs so much sugar! I decided to mix it with some Little […]

It is not often I buy Tesco’s Finest products but I spotted these in the chiller cabinet on offer at £2 so into the trolley they went. I have tried the M and S Melting Middle Fishcakes and reviewed them on here so I wanted to compare them. The Tesco version has a cheesy spinach centre […]

I popped into Farmfoods and found these at 2 for £2 – what a bargain! Stocked up the freezer but I decided to do these for supper. My other half likes chips with gravy (argh!) so I did chips and peas for him too. You just bung them in the oven and go about whatever […]

Now you all know that I like to eat but not to cook. This is my “recipe” for Pensioners Paella. For 2 people I take 2 packets of Tesco Everyday Value Golden Vegetable Savoury rice and tip them into my trusty old (lidded) wok. Add the water as on the pack and a good handful […]
